Bryssel Hostellit

Plussat: Superb location, friendly staff, cosy common area

Miinukset: My room was changed to 4/f but the elevator only goes to 3/f. Staff has done their best though

Plussat: Beds very comfortable. Clean and superb location

Miinukset: Shower was to small

Plussat: Here is the best location

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Super clean, friendly staff, good atmosphere, great location. One of the best hostels I have ever stayed in.

Miinukset: If only the kitchen and the common area could open earlier (instead of after 7:30 am). Difficult to find a place to have breakfast at 7 am...

Plussat: Hyvä hostelli loistavalla sijainnilla aivan Grand Placen vieressä. Lakanat ja pyyhkeet sekä kuumat juomat kuuluivat hintaan. Hyvä keittiö ruoanlaittoa varten. Huoneissa oli suuret kaapit henkilökohtaisten tavaroiden säilytystä varten ja jokaisen sängyn kohdalla oli pistorasia ja valo.

Miinukset: Avaimet piti hakea hostelliketjun toisesta toimipisteestä, sillä tässä toimipisteessä ei ollut henkilökuntaa paikalla lainkaan. Toimipiste, josta avaimet haettiin ei ollut kovin kaukana, joten suurta vaivaa ei aiheutunut, mutta asia on hyvä tiedostaa etukäteen. Hostellin keittiö avautui vasta klo 7:30, joten aikaisin liikenteeseen lähtevät eivät voineet nauttia aamukahviaan hostellilla. Sivustolla näkyvään hintaan tuli lisäksi vielä kaupunkivero, joka piti maksaa käteisellä, tämäkin on hyvä huomioida etukäteen.

Plussat: Location is great! Very clean facilities.

Miinukset: It would be nice if we could check in directly at the property instead of going to the other hostel to check in and collect the key.

Plussat: Great location very central & felt safe

Miinukset: Checkout time was 11am but cleaning crew came into room 3 times before 10:30am to see if we were gone

Plussat: The location of this hostel is fantastic. It is bang smack in the center. I loved that the most about it.

Miinukset: The walk can be tiring if You have a heavy luggage because the location is protected area and public transport isn’t allowed till the door step of the hostel. So travel light or be very fit.

Miinukset: My bed was dented in the middle, my back was not comfortable sleeping.

Plussat: Very high quality and very good price. Comfy clean has everything you need.

Plussat: location, facilities, cleanness,

Miinukset: I had to go to check in in different location but it was ok.

Plussat: Great staff & great breakfast Good storage & security

Miinukset: Not much, beyond a dorm mate who came in in the early hours waking us all up!

Plussat: Casual place.

Miinukset: You can’t control the water temperature in the shower.

Plussat: Free parking was great

Miinukset: Hot water isn’t hot enough for shower

Plussat: The staff from the hostel is really helpful and friendly and the hostel is very close to downtown, just across the bridge.

Miinukset: Coziness

Miinukset: First night we had to sleep with open window because it was breaking and didn’t close! Luckily other worker managed to fix it next day. Otherwise we would have live with open window all the time, because they didn’t have other free room. We lived in room with bathroom, but there was nothing inside, even soap. And I saw 2 cockroaches in the dining room during one breakfast. One on the table and other one on my purse!!! I said about this to the hostel worker. But he just answered that cockroaches may come from garden...

Plussat: It was really convenient for me and lady at reception was exceptionaly good and friendly. I definitely would recommend this place to other people, good value for money.

Plussat: Breakfast here is nice. They have bread, cheese, bacon, and eggs. For drink, there were orange juice, coffee, hot milk, chocolate, and tea. The best thing about this hostel is the reception. Right after your arrival, they would welcome you with a warm heart. You would make yourself comfortable here. This hostel was one of the best in my whole life and even let me have better image on Belgium. Thank you very much :)

Miinukset: Not much to mention. The only sad thing here was that they did not have hair dryer, not a single. So if you are willing to stay here, especially women, I would recommend you to bring your hair dryer as well.

Plussat: Everything is spacious, clean and efficient, breakfast is really good, plenty of options... One of the best hostel I've been... Would recommend for sure.

Plussat: I was a little apprehensive but I needn’t have worried. The accommodation was clean, safe and secure. The staff were pleasant and helpful. The hotel was in a lovely location away from the hustle and bustle but located practically next door to the train station which took you into the town centre in minutes!

Miinukset: There was nothing that I could fault based on the services provided!

Plussat: The atmosphere of the hostel

Miinukset: There should be a kitchenette for the housed.

Plussat: We were given a free upgrade, as they were performing some annual deep cleaning in the hostel, so we ended up with an apartment, just a short walk away, which was beautiful and very much in keeping with the train theme. Also the hostel has a very good breakfast, staff are very friendly and helpful, very clean and it’s very close to the Train World museum, which is a must, very interesting.

Miinukset: Nothing!

Plussat: Perfect. Very near the train station to get into central.

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: Close to the train

Miinukset: No comfort the mattress

Plussat: we didn't eat breakfast, because we stayed in an apartment.

Plussat: Hyvä hinta-laatusuhde, siisti ja mukavat huoneet ja toimiva wifi. Huoneessa oli myös isot lokerot tavaroiden säilytykseen, tosin tarvitsee oman lukon. Juna-aiheinen sisustus sopi hyvin sijaintiin ja tunnelmaan (ja hostellin vierestä löytyvä rautatiemuseo on vierailun arvoinen). Sijainti hieman keskustan ulkopuolella mutta ratikalla pääsee kätevästi nähtävyyksiin.

Miinukset: Pyyhkeet eivät kuuluneet hintaan, joten kannattaa ottaa oma käsipyyhe mukaan

Plussat: juna idealla varustettu hostel. Ideaa olio käytetty sisustuksessa ja majoituksessa. Sijainti helposti rautatien vierellä. Kohtuullinen matka keskustaan. Paikallisuutta.

Miinukset: ölkjhgfd

Plussat: Very nice place closed to the city by tram! Very nice staff.

Plussat: Cool hostel, funky rooms, amenable, friendly and helpful staff.

Miinukset: No working bedside lights, shower not fantastic (non movable shower head high up the wall and not much hot water). Transport to city centre made difficult by train strike.

Plussat: Original concept with very friendly staff & service. I had booked a private room and due to a misunderstanding between booking & the Train Hostel there was no private bedroom available once I arrived. To compensate for the misunderstanding the hostel gave me a free upgrade to the last private room available, being the Train suite! I spent a memorable evening there. Even the shared rooms looked really cool. Such a nice experience, would definitely recommend it. Thanks again Train Hostel!

Plussat: The hostel was situated right next to a main train station for long distance trips and also next to local tram & bus links

Miinukset: Charged for towels, bean bags in courtyard had fleas

Plussat: The staff were friendly and helpful. The free breakfast always goes down well.

Miinukset: My only issue with breakfast is that they were very strict with the 10am end time. At 10am not only did they ask us to stop eating but you are asked to leave the dining room.

Miinukset: They have the most beautiful breakfast eating place, but unfortunately they have trash in the yard altho it could be cleaned and even some extra tables added outside.

Plussat: The staff is very nice.

Miinukset: One bathroom was unusable because of cleaness, and it was close to the kitchen, with a unpleasant smell.

Plussat: The staff was beyond welcoming and kind, the location is less than 5 minute walk to a grocery store and a station, there's a bar!!!

Miinukset: No charger near my bed was the only negative

Plussat: The stay was all over great. But as a solo female traveler I felt the location a little bit unsafe. It’s 20 min walk from the city centre and couldn’t enjoy the nightlife the way I wanted to.

Plussat: Nice staff, breakfast included, nice bar area for guests to mingle, 20 min walk to main attractions

Miinukset: Horrible bathrooms - old, leaking showers (bathroom in our room had no doors which wasn’t comfortable) No bedsheets - only a blanket (we were cold)

Plussat: Breakfast was basic, we were allowed to have early check-in.

Miinukset: Rooms weren't clean as expected, quite cosy and bathroom smelled really bad.

Plussat: Sijainti oli ihan hyvä, keskustaan saattoi kävellä ja aivan lähellä oli ruokakauppa. Huoneessa oli lavuaari ja kauniit, keltaiset seinät. Vuode oli mukava ja huoneessa oli riittävästi pistorasioita.

Miinukset: Kadulta kantautui huoneeseen liikenteen hälyä ynnä muuta meteliä. Aamiainen olisi voinut olla vähän monipuolisempi.

Plussat: The staff were nice and it was a comfortable hostel.

Miinukset: It was quiet and lonely. I was the only person in my room, which was both a good and bad thing. It was in an uncomfortable area of the city.

Plussat: The room was quite clean and the bar was ok.

Miinukset: The staff was quite rude, the wifi was extremely slow and was only next to the reception, in the rooms the lockers are without a lock and you either need to have your own or buy it on the reception for 9 euros... in our there were no plugs next to the beds and there was a extension cord, but was next to another persons bed and it was quite uncomfortable to leave my phone next tp someones bed. From our room if you wanted to go to a toilet or take a shower you had to cross a yard and on the way to the showers (which were in the basement btw) you needed to go through a lounge next to a bar. The rooms were also a bit cold and there were rather strange you got 2 sheets instead of a sheet and cover for the blanker, at the reception they told us that you are supposed to put one sheet over yourself and put the blanket on top of it. And lastly the breakfast I wasn't expecting much, but this was little disappointing only things there were a bread, cheapest cheese and salami and some yoghurt and granola, no vegetables or fruit.

Plussat: The shops nearby

Miinukset: Everything

Plussat: The kitchen is ok

Miinukset: The beds are horrible , you can’t even move without shaking the whole 2 beds , it was a bad experience

Miinukset: Everything was dirty and disgusting!!! We did not even get our own key for the room, because they have already been taken.

Plussat: Nothing

Miinukset: The hostel not clean and over priced

Plussat: One of the only hotels I found in Brussels with kitchen facilities.

Miinukset: It wasn't clean at all, we only have one shower for the eight rooms (!!!) and it was always dirty. Plus, there was no security at all in the rooms, since they gave you the key to the room you asked for without asking you for an ID card or whatever.

Plussat: The exterior of the building

Miinukset: Toilet was v small and shower facilities uncomfortable. Room mate was unfortunately very inconsiderate and noisy.

Plussat: It does what it says on the cover and only that. Staff is super nice though.

Miinukset: Place needs to be kept better. Dorms had graffiti, table had water damage, shower facilities smelled of sewage and have very little space to move. ^ persons in a room and only one power outlet that i could see. Lockers are not lockable.

Miinukset: The hostel was in a filthy condition. Very very unsafe for anyone to stay. The entire hostel screams sadness. The rooms are as small as a suitcase and everything stinks in and around the room. Absolutely not worth the money. Do not stay here even if it's the only option, take an overnight train to another city but don't stay here.

Plussat: Could've been worse. Mostly old local men use the hostel.

Miinukset: Lots. Especially the holes in the wall in the shower.

Plussat: absolutely nothing

Miinukset: awful experience
